Uncle Joy gave me a wilted Endless Summer Hydrangea last year. I think he gave up on it. I thought it was going to die but I took it home and kept watering it anyways. Winter came and it looked completely dead. However I just went ahead and cut it all the way to the bottom but left a tiny branch that seem to have one or two bubs on it.

Lace Cap Hydrangeas
Lace Cap Hydrangea
This lace cap hydrangea in the corner was gifted to me from Suzanna about 3 or 4 years ago. Similar to the reddish brown leaves hydrangea, this one appears to be growing slowly. I lazily sprinkled some slow release fertilizer right on top of the plant but read that the fertilizer must be mix into the soil.
Update: February 28th, 2015 - This morning I mixed slow release fertilizer with potting soil and added them to the base area surrounding the hydrangeas.

Preziosa Pink Beauty Hydrangea
May 21, 2014
This is my pink hydrangea located left of the Sister Teresa Hydrangea. Beautiful healthy plant that was noticeably smaller than Teresa but was promising.

Early spring the pink hydrangea leaves are a lot smaller and developing much slower than Teresa. The leaves are a bit reddish brown around the edges and the branches are quite fragile. They say it's normal for the preziosa variety to turn reddish brown like that.

Sister Theresa Hydrangea
This image was taken on May 21, 2014.
Sister Theresa Hydrangea was purchased at Lowe's next to my work place. It was huge and I was super excited to purchase this plant and bring it home. It didn't have any flowers when I first bought it, but after a month or so the blooms were huge and so beautiful.
February 26, 2015
This morning I added additional potting soil and mixed it with a slow release fertilized to the base surrounding the hydrangea. When I moved the rocks around the hydrangea to add the new mixture, I noticed there was a lot of worms around the base, which verified why this hydrangea was doing great compare to my other ones. The soil must be really rich therefore helping this plant to thrive. Hopefully the new mixture will help it grow bigger this year. I trimmed the dead wood down to the first bulb that bloomed and removed a few short dead branches.

This plant is doing great. However, since it doesn't get much sun the blooms are taking a long time to bloom...very very VERY slowly.

Hydrangeas Double Delights
Hydrangeas do especially well when fertilizers are effectively used in spring or early summer. Source
Spring 2015
This one was growing in a pot for the past 2 years. Replaced a dead hydrangea with this one in it's place. It is developing really well but might be because it was getting really good morning sun next to the pomegranate tree. Now that I moved it to the right of the big hydrangea, hopefully it will be ok.

This hydrangea finally bloomed (after 3 years) and to my excitement, it turned out to be a "Double Delight" hydrangea. Yes, I did not know what I have. So far there are 4 blooms on this plant.
I love the beautiful blue and each bloom is about 3 inch in diameter (which is relatively small). But since it's the first year this plant is in the ground, hopefully next year it will be much bigger.
